We had a fabulous array of entries last month and I hope this months theme will inspire you to join us again, it is.........................

******Traditional Christmas colours******

Usual rules that you can enter three times and use any make of stamps, but can I please remind you as quite a few still forget:

The main and focal element of your entry must be a stamped image unless using a Penny Black stickeroo.

Digi images are not acceptable for our challenge.

Sorry to have to bang on about it but we hate having to leave messages telling people their work is not eligible for the fabulous prizes on offer. OK now on our great prizes for this month...................

Penny Black are again offering three super prizes. They invite you to explore their creative world and see for yourself why their rubber stamps, stickers, beautiful papers for scrapbooking, cardmaking and stamp crafting are everyone’s favourites. Their products are designed to integrate style and colour for creating the best handicraft projects ever. And you can be one of the first to hear about new products by joining their free club here.

.......an on line store offering a huge range of products, latest arrivals include Spellbinders dies and Nellie Snedden stamps and don't forget that all new customers can get a 10% discount off their first order - use the code "first order" (no quotes) in the discount coupon box during the checkout process to claim your discount. (Offer excludes the Silhouette Cameo, and quotes for special orders).They are offering one winner a £10 voucher for an on line shop at their store.

Flonzcraft are another of our regular sponsors who we welcome back. and if you are not familiar with their stamps then you must check out their fabulous range of quality Vintage inspired images at extremely good prices. They are offering one lucky winner a $20 spend at their store as well as a 12% discount to entrants of our challenge - just add "Penny Black and More entrant" in the comment section when placing your order.

Updated 7.30am 30th November - prize re-drawn as it was brought to my attention this morning that the original published winner had used a pre-printed image not a stamp (although available as a stamp), my apologies to all for any confusion created. The new winner is Maria who I have notified as she may not re-visit this post since published yesterday.

Congratulations to all our winners, please mail me with your full names and postal addy's so I can get your prizes organised.

Don't forgot to pop back Sunday when Tracy will be along with our new challenge.
